First, a question: How do I (easily, I hope) change the font size in the browser window -- without, of course, resorting to changing the browser's own magnification/zoom factor?
In J6, this was easy and obvious -- the same sort of way as with changing configs of most programs: From the Edit menu item, select Configure. Then use a completely intuitive GUI dialog to change things. Second, some comments: Restricting things to a browser interface alone is the wrong way to go -- driven more, I fear, by the desire to minimize development effort than out of any actual improvement in the user interface. I find everything harder to do with the J701 browser front end than with the J6 (and earlier) j.exe GUI. And I've tried working with 701, even in the earlier pre-beta "concept" version, and find it quite obvious that it is NOT mere novelty or unfamiliarity with the new interface. Indeed, I use many different kinds of programs on a daily basis, and nothing so far even approaches the clumsiness of J701's interface. Unless there are dramatic improvements in usability, I am very likely to give up J entirely. And as a user of J from its beginning, and of APL before that, that is something I would not do lightly or happily. Murray -- Murray Eisenberg [email protected] Mathematics & Statistics Dept.
